For the second time this week, Fulham has had a match postponed due to rising COVID-19 cases with the club, this time their Sunday fixture against Burnley.
Fulham’s Premier League match at Burnley on Sunday has been postponed because of further positive coronavirus cases at the west London club.
It is the second match involving Fulham to be postponed this week, after Wednesday’s game at Tottenham was called off just hours before kick-off.

This is also the fourth match to be postpone by the Premier League this season due to the global coronavirus pandemic and as the United Kingdom continues to deal with an outbreak of a more transmissible strain of the virus. Despite that, however, the League still refuses to halt the season citing continued confidence in their testing protocols.
The Premier League has not discussed the possibility of a circuit break for the season despite the growing number of postponed matches and says it will look to reschedule Fulham’s games “as soon as possible”.
“With low numbers of positive tests across the overwhelming majority of clubs, the League continues to have confidence in its COVID-19 protocols, fully backed by the Government, to enable fixtures to be played as scheduled,” read a statement.
“The League wishes those with COVID-19 a safe and speedy recovery and will rearrange Fulham’s two postponed games as soon as possible.”
